22:26
PJ Dozier gets the free three-pointer to equalize and puts the ball well wide. Bayern were lucky! But Munich doesn’t score either and Željko Obradović takes his last timeout with 100 seconds to go!
39.
10:25 p.m
Bolmaro improves and Munich is back to five points. But then Pablo Laso received a technical foul when he was upset about a throw-in decision.
38.
22:21
The Partizan fans are now really making the BMW Park shake again. Can Bayern keep a cool head in this heated atmosphere? Niels Giffey definitely, because the national player confidently hits both free throws.
38.
10:20 p.m
Caboclo is now simply handling the Belgrade offensive on his own. Now the 2.06 meter man, who became German champion with Ulm last season, also added an And-One and has 16 points in the second half alone.
37.
22:17
What’s going on with Bruno Caboclo? In his very first EuroLeague game, the Brazilian hit three threes in a row and thanks to him, Partizan is still in the game here.
36.
22:16
Carsen Edwards hits a very important three-pointer and keeps Bayern a bit ahead. But Bruno Caboclo immediately had the right answer ready.
35.
10:15 p.m
Pablo Laso is raging outside! First Bruno Caboclo hits his three-pointer, then Aleksa Avramović comes through on the baseline and lays it off.
34.
22:13
James Nunnally sank two free throws and is now the guests’ top scorer with 13 points. Belgrade cannot be shaken off and remains within striking distance.
33.
22:09
Freddie Gillespie finally scores Munich’s first points in the final quarter, prompting Željko Obradović to call the next timeout.
32.
22:06
Belgrade gave it their all again and brought good energy to the floor. Munich, on the other hand, starts the last quarter a bit tired.
31.
10:05 p.m
New signing Caboclo is now getting significantly more playing time and with him things are looking much better at Partizan. Two free throws from the Brazilian bring the guests within five points.
31.
22:03
Start of 4th quarter
30.
22:03
Quarter conclusion:
FC Bayern is on track after 30 minutes and leads 70:63 against Partizan Belgrade! After the break, the hosts continued to focus on defense and didn’t allow Obradović’s team to take any shots for a long time. The FCBB was already leading by double digits before the guests started again with a short run. Individually, the Munich team has advantages on both sides of the court, but is that enough to get the points here?
30.
9:59 p.m
End of 3rd quarter
29.
9:58 p.m
What a thing! Sylvain Francisco has to take a three-pointer over Bruno Caboclo at the last second and shoots his arc lamp perfectly through the ring.
28.
9:56 p.m
Partizan rears up again and immediately the hut burns again. The guests got back on track with an 8-0 run and after Željko Obradović’s timeout, Zach LeDay was also allowed to go to the line for a bonus free throw.
27.
9:52 p.m
Bruno Caboclo lets it rip after Dozier’s allusion and tries to wake up his colleagues again.
26.
9:50 p.m
Devin Booker coolly tanks against Aleksa Avramović and Bayern leads by double digits for the first time. Things are looking really good right now because Partizan is still going strong.
25.
9:47 p.m
Belgrade has a lot of problems offensively, acts far too statically and simply can’t find any shots at all. James Nunnally at least gets to the line and scores the first guest points in the second half.
24.
9:44 p.m
Carsen Edwards for three! Bayern’s US guard has 16 points and Bayern starts off with a 6-0 run. Željko Obradović takes another timeout early.
23.
9:42 p.m
Of course, the numerous Serbian fans also notice that their team is finding it increasingly difficult and are raising the alarm again.
22.
9:41 p.m
This time Bayern started much better and were immediately there. Partizan has not managed a single solid conclusion so far.
21.
9:38 p.m
Go on! Munich starts the second half furiously with a steal at their own basket and the following alley-oop from Edwards for Ibaka!
21.
9:37 p.m
Start of 3rd quarter
20.
9:25 p.m
Half-time conclusion:
The guests’ last throw doesn’t fall and Bayern go into the dressing room with a 53:51 lead! It didn’t look like that for a long time, because in the first twelve minutes the home team weren’t up to par defensively and made things too easy for Partizan. Only when the FCBB was able to increase the intensity did the guests immediately run into problems and were less likely to finish. Munich shoots a whopping 60% from the three-point line and can also rely on its very agile guards Carsen Edwards and Sylvain Francisco. Let’s continue with the second half in the BMW Park!
20.
9:22 p.m
End of 2nd quarter
20.
9:17 p.m
Danko Branković hits the target with two freebies and puts his Bayern in the lead 53:51 just under 30 seconds before the siren. Timeout Željko Obradović, then the guests have the last throw.
19.
9:13 p.m
One thing never changes: Freddie Gillespie never misses an opportunity to collect unnecessary fouls. Less than seven minutes played and already three personals on the clock for the US boy. Of course, it’s back to the bank.
18.
9:09 p.m
If the FCBB performs well here, the guests’ problems will be exposed mercilessly. In defense, things are often going too fast for Partizan, and the balls are now flying past the target in rows.
17.
9:06 p.m
Now Bayern turned up the heat! Weiler-Babb and Bolmaro win the next ball and Niklas Wimberg scores from the pear to give Munich the first lead in this match.
16.
9:04 p.m
Slowly but surely the Munich defense is warming up. Belgrade now has to work a lot harder for the shots, ultimately takes difficult shots and the quota promptly drops. Leandro Bolmaro scores the next Munich And-One!
14.
9:00 p.m
Edwards creates space with a good move, moves to the basket and scores a foul! The free throw also works and Bayern are back up to four points. Time out Partizan!
13.
8:59 p.m
Weiler-Babb now also shows his class in defense and steals a ball. At the front, Francisco has the mismatch against Smailagić, but he can stop him with a clever foul.
12.
20:54
The threesome continues to fall at FCBB. This time Nick Weiler-Babb drives the ball cleanly through the net.
11.
20:53
Bruno Caboclo gets his first minutes and registers with an And-One. Munich urgently needs to increase the intensity in defense as quickly as possible, otherwise things will look very bleak here at halftime.
11.
20:52
Start of 2nd quarter
10.
20:52
Quarter conclusion:
FC Bayern completely missed the first quarter defensively against Partizan Belgrade and were behind 25:32 after ten minutes. In front of over 4,000 frenetic guest fans, the hosts have little going for them. Only a very strong three-point rate and good work in offensive rebounding ensured that we are halfway within striking distance here.
10.
8:49 p.m
End of 1st quarter
10.
8:49 p.m
While the ball is running well for the guests and there are always good finishes, Munich is having a hard time. In the end, Sylvain Francisco has to create something and fails miserably, but Booker follows up and scores two important points.
8th.
8:46 p.m
Bayern didn’t come out of the first timeout of the game well and let the guests go back to seven points.
7.
8:43 p.m
Defensively, both teams are not yet up to speed and baskets are being exchanged at a rapid pace.
6.
20:42
From the outside, almost everything is going well for the home team! Carsen Edwards and Serge Ibaka hit the threes number three and four. Uroš Trifunović also scores for Partizan from downtown, but Bayern are at it again!
4.
8:38 p.m
Bayern should have an advantage when it comes to rebounding today. The Munich team collects the most balls in the EuroLeague, while Partizan has scary statistics on the boards. Niels Giffey also grabs an offensive rebound and puts the egg in the nest.
3.
8:37 p.m
That feels good! Devin Booker is completely free in the corner and sinks the first three-pointer of the game. Since Leandro Bolmaro committed his third turnover a little later, Belgrade remained a bit away. Bolmaro is given a pause early on by Pablo Laso.
2.
8:34 p.m
While Ibaka puts the first Munich throw on the ring, Trifunović immediately follows up for the guests. The FCBB is not even in the game yet.
1.
8:32 p.m
It starts with deafening noise and Bayern get the first ball. But after just a few seconds they throw it away. Jaramaz then gives his old colleagues the first points.
1.
8:31 p.m
Game start
8:30 p.m
Here we go! Munich starts with Carsen Edwards, Leandro Bolmaro, Niels Giffey, Serge Ibaka and Devin Booker. Ex-Bayern player Ognjen Jaramaz, James Nunnally, Zach LeDay, Uroš Trifunović and Frank Kaminsky start at Partizan.
8:25 p.m
If you look around the hall and listen, you might think that FCBB is playing away today. Around 4,000 Partizan fans came and created a great atmosphere before the game.
20:22
Bayern will have to do without their two world champions Isaac Bonga and Andreas Obst today. Both were injured after the Bonn game and did not get fit in time. Meanwhile, the guests have a new man for the first time today of all days, who will make the Partizan squad significantly stronger. Former NBA star and ex-Ulm player Bruno Caboclo is making his debut in the EuroLeague.
8:17 p.m
With three wins from seven games, Partizan is only slightly better off than Munich. The mood is generally good among the Serbs, who have won both derbies against their big rivals Red Star this season and were recently able to keep Fenerbahçe Istanbul at bay in the EuroLeague. However, star coach Željko Obradović’s team also suffered a bitter setback in the domestic league at the weekend and lost at home to KK Igokea.
8:10 p.m
“We knew that we would have a difficult November ahead of us, with many away games and twice with Belgrade fans who brought a lot of atmosphere into the hall,” coach Pablo Laso recently made clear. Despite the four defeats, the Spaniard also saw good things about his FCBB: “It was close four times recently, we just couldn’t finish it. If we rebound better on both rings and lose the ball less, that would help us. Partizan has an aggressive team, but gaining confidence through wins is important to our process.”
8:03 p.m
Bayern were able to get two wins from their first seven EuroLeague games. This means that the targeted playoff places are a long way off early in the season and a home win today is almost mandatory. However, the FCBB is currently in an unprecedented crisis, as the last four competitive games were all lost. In addition to the international defeats against Red Star and Maccabi, there were recent defeats in the league in Braunschweig and Bonn. The Munich team doesn’t exactly go into the game with a tailwind.
8:00 p.m
Hello and welcome to the EuroLeague on Wednesday evening! FC Bayern Basketball hosts Partizan Belgrade on the eighth matchday of the premier class. It starts at 8:30 p.m. in the BMW Park!
